"The
dancing and singing within this celebration have brought out the
best of the Tongan people and the Tongan way of life. The essence
of our way of life is love. You cannot divert from that." HRH Princess
Salote Mafile'o Pilolevu Tuita.
"When I perform in a lakalaka, the spirit of the dance fills my
heart and I can feel within me such a powerful pouring out of love
for my land, my people, my king. It is always a spiritual event for
me." Afuha'amango Taumoepeau.
